How important is music in films for you? Because for me, it’s something that makes watching a film a real experience. Obviously, back then we didn’t have any sound in films and people were still watching them. But perhaps you didn’t know that it was quite popular for cinemas to have bands/small orchestras playing during the projection. So that the bunch of viewers didn’t have to sit in silence for the whole time. Still, I believe that we don’t appreciate musicians working for the film industry enough. When we have all those award ceremonies, only film fans follow all the categories. A random person knows just the main winner or the actors who’ve got the awards. Which is extremely sad, because even though I’m not a musician, I definitely follow and appreciate what those incredibly talented artists do for all of us. Can you imagine LOTR without its famous theme? Or Harry Potter? Or Star Wars? Or any other top productions? Some of you may know the soundtrack of films you haven’t even seen. That’s the power of music in the film industry. Today, I’m recommending you a wonderful documentary that focuses on the people responsible for the best experiences, memories and feelings we’ve all shared watching numerous films. Even though I’d been aware of their work a bit, I learned a lot thanks to this documentary. It’s full of fun facts and interviews with important composers. Not only I enjoyed it a lot, but I also ended up listening to all my favourite film soundtracks in that evening. Perhaps it will inspire you to pay more attention to the sound in the next productions you’re about to see. Huge respect is not enough in this case. Not enough.
My rating: 9/10
